Water Gardening Hub

Water Gardening comes in all shapes and sizes. From a small container pond on a patio, to a full wildlife pond at the bottom of the garden. 

Thinking about adding a pond, or already have one and want to get more from it? 

Our Water Gardening Hub brings together everything we know about ponds, pond plants and the wildlife they bring into your garden — plus what we stock in-store and how to get started.

Garden Pond Guides

 Pond Plants 

Pond plants there are so many different types. They do more than just look good. There are oxygenating plants to help keep the water clear, marginals soften the edges, and floating plants give fish and wildlife somewhere to shelter. We stock a range of pond plants in store at Rangemore, from native British varieties to popular ornamentals. 

We don't currently ship pond plants online (they don't always travel well), but come and see what's available in person,  and have a chat with us about the right plants for your pond's size and setup.

 Types of Pond & What to Consider 

Whether you're planning a small container pond or a larger wildlife pond, the basics are the same: think about size, sunlight, what you want to keep (fish, plants, or both), and how much maintenance you're up for. 

A patio pond might be what you are looking for, or you might need a liner to create your own shape and style. 

 Pond Fish 

We stock a range of pond fish in store when conditions are right for them — pop in or give us a call to check what's currently available before visiting.

 Pond Equipment & Care 

If you are looking for equipment to help you get your garden pond in order then you should be able to find what you need. Everything from pumps, filtration and UVCs. 

Treatments for green algae, fish medication etc. We are always at the end of the email or even the telephone if you need any help or advice when choosing items.
